 Blackburn Hindu Centre promotes social, cultural, religious and educational needs of the Hindu community living in East ...
Then in April 1973 a general meeting was called and Blackburn Hindu Centre was set up with a constitution and an executive committee.
In the mid seventies to the mid eighties we had up to 450 Hindu families living in Blackburn and Darwen but due to economic reasons many families migrated down south for better opportunities hence reducing the number to just under 100 families at present.
However, as the years went by, the BHC firmly established itself with the public, private and voluntary sector organisations and earned its respect particularly in dealing with issues relating to the Hindu community as it proved a major contributor to promote and share Hindu culture, tradition and social etiquette with the indigenous population.

 Cotton Town: Your Town, Your History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Cottontown tells the story of a manufacturing process that started in isolated cottages on the wind and rain swept West Pennines and ended with derelict weaving sheds and the demolition of tall, soot flened mill chimneys.
In between was the boom time, when Cotton was King and Blackburn was the weaving capital of the world, when millionaire magnates lived in country mansions and the workers made the best of it in overcrowded, uncomfortable, unsanitary conditions.
For those of you who prefer a slower pace, there's a trip along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in the company of a crew and their horse plying their trade along Blackburn's waterway in its early days.
